Hey guys and dolls hope you all had a great Christmas!

So remember last year when I did a little Christmas special one-shot featuring numerous cartoon characters? Well, I was originally going to do that again, but everything was so stressful, and I didn't get time to do it. So please forgive me.

So last time, Sora and the others arrived in Agrabah, reunited with Princess Jasmine, and saw Aladdin chasing after Abu, but what for? Let's find out!

So again, I'm sorry for what happened before you guys with me threatened to put the story up for adoption, I don't want to give up on this story at all, I am just going through rough crap, with the job, and family issues. And I want to do a new story so badly! Because I got lots, and lots of ideas I wish to do.

To RonaldM4019687: the group did arrive, Ruby likes big kitties, and Jasmine is polite as heck, but feisty too. Yep, Iago is one of my favorites, It;s alright, it's been rough. I mean yea, but still, Razoul is someone who enjoys the job a bit too much though.

To Hekkasi: Thanks.

To Gamelover41592: Thanks :)

To Jacob9594: Thanks.

To Perturbedork: It's fine, I just feel like I'm getting punched in the gut one too many times...

To Yang34: Thanks.

To Guest: Thanks.

To SpiritDragon97: Thanks, I have no idea what his issue is...but seriously, thanks.

Anyway, let's all get down to it, shall we? Also, this arc won't be as long as POTC hopefully.

Sora and the others chased after Aladdin, Abu, and the short man for a while now, but after a few minutes, they finally found them.

"Sir, I'm deeply sorry for this," Aladdin said as he then turned to Abu, who looked annoyed. "You should be ashamed of yourself Abu!" He scolded, but the monkey simply pouted a bit. "Now give it back to him." Abu huffed and turned around, "Abu…" Aladdin said, this time a bit more sternly.

Abut then sighed and handed the lamp to Aladdin, who then turned to the man and sheepishly grinned. "No hard feelings?" He asked, but all he got was a glare from the man, who snatched the lamp and huffed, walking away. Aladdin then sighed, what else could go wrong today? "Abu!" HE exclaimed, about to let him have it.

Abu then got nervous, but when he saw Sora he smiled "*Chatter* He said as he then went right over to Sora and co.

"Abu!" Sora said with a smile as he pallet the monkey's head. "How are you, buddy?" He asked. Abu smiled and chittered as he also was peered on by Donald's Goofy, and he went over to Ruby and the others, who pet him as well.

"Awe, what a cute little monkey," Ruby said with a smile on her face.

"Hey Sun," Jane said with a smirk. "Is he your relative?" But all he got was a small glare from said Faunus

"Oh ha ha!" Sun said sarcastically. Aladdin then went over to them.

"Hey, sorry about that guys," Aladdin said with a sheepish smile. "Abu was all….well you know."

Sora smiled. "It's ok. So how are you doing?" He asked.

"Eh, I've been alright." Aladdin then looked to see the ones not familiar and raised an eyebrow. "New friends of yours?"

"Oh yea, Aladdin, this is Ruby, Jaune, Sun, Oswald, Ortenisa, Oswald, Stitch, and Max." He said with a smile.

Aladdin smiled and shook hands with everyone. "Nice to meet you all, any friend of Sora's is a friend of mine." He said to them,

"Likewise," Ruby said with a grin. "So, Aladdin, we want to ask you a question."

"What is it?"

"Well….We met Jasmine, and she wants to know why you keep running off for some reason, almost as if you're sad or something."

Aladdin sighed a bit and looked down. "Well…yea, I kinda am. Ever since Genie and CArpet took off to go around the world, I have been….I don't know, something feels so different." He said with a sigh.

"Uh, sorry to interrupt, but who's Genie and Carpet?" Max asked with a raised eyebrow.

Sora and Aladdin, who lost their sadness for a while, turned and smirked. "All in due time," they said in unison, making MAx and the others look confused.

"Well…anyway, what was that black thing that Abu had?" Oswald asked.

Aladdin sighed. "Well, you guys remember Jafar? Somehow that stupid Peddler got his hands on his lamp and Abu decided to be a little troublemaker and take off with it, and here we are from that." He said, rubbing his face. "Abu, what am I going to do with you?" He asked the monkey, who chittered with an embarrassed look.

"JAFAR?" Iago shouted, abruptly making his appearance known to them all, and when Aladdin saw him, he got on the defensive.

"Iago! Sora!" He said, but then he was shushed.

"No wait, wait!" Sora said, putting his hands up as Iago was hiding behind Ruby with fright. "Iago is a good guy now…maybe." He said, still unsure about him, making Aladdin raise his eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" Aladdin asked, and the others looked at Iago, who then fluttered slowly behind Ruby and approached him.

"Aladdin, please listen." The parrot said to him. "I know I was not a good bird in the past, I helped Jafar with trying to conquer Agrabah. Helped him use those Heartless guys as well ..." He sighed a bit. "I know what I did was wrong, and I am here to personally apologize to you." He said.

Aladdin looked at him and then at Sora to confirm if he was telling the truth. And Sora and the others nodded their heads in confirmation. Aladdin looked at Iago with suspicion, and he sighed.

"Well, if Sora believes you….then I guess I do as well...for now at least" He said, making Iago smile. "Did you apologize to Jasmine and the Sultan?"

"Well, he was going to," Sun said. "But there was a big, angry dude who scared him."

Aladdin sighed. "You met Razoul huh?" He asked. "Don't worry about him, he is just a big guy with a bad temper, with the Sultan there, you don't have to worry about him." He said to them, making them all shrug their shoulders.

"So…Jafar huh?" Jaune asked. "I think Sora told us a little bit about him when we left Jasmine, so he tried to take over your home huh?" He asked.

"Yea," Aladdin said with a sigh. "And the black thing was his lamp as well."

"That's weird though," Iago said. "After we got sucked in, I thought the lamp was left in the Cave of Wonders…." He asked with confusion. "So how did that Peddler get it?"

Aladdin then looked confused. "Honestly…I have no idea how he got it, but all I know is that we have to get it somehow, we can't risk Jafar getting out and wreaking havoc."

"Well, we should figure out where the Peddler is, he must be somewhere," Sora said. "What do you say, guys, should we go?"

"Let's do it!" Everybody said together with grins as they then decided to make their way back towards the town, but not before a familiar cat spotted them from behind a pillar.

"Oh!" Pete said with anger. "It's that keyblade kid, and those stooges of his!" He said. "Why is it that when there is a new world that is aching to be tainted with Heartless, they are always there?" He asked with a pout. "It just isn't fair!"

He then sighed. "I need to get my hands on that lamp and set Jafar free, he is going to make a beauty of a Heartless." He said with a grin, but it then turned into confusion. "Still, it makes me wonder why Maleficent wants to turn him anyway. Well, beggars can't be choosers." He said. "I still need to find a good pawn…but who…who?" He asked.

Then he heard some grumbling noises and got confused. "Huh? Who could that be?" He asked as he then went to go follow the noise. And when he made it, he saw a short, fat, middle-aged man wearing a dark outfit underneath a navy vest, a red turban, and had black facial hair and red shoes.
This was Abis Mal, a criminal in Agrabha who had some skirmishes with Aladdin before.

"When I see that Aladdin again, I'l slice him into two!" Mal said with anger as he then kicked a broken pot away.

Pete inspected him closely and today the least…he had a poor view, but then again, he could be the key to getting the lamp, and he shrugged. "Well, beggars can't be choosers…" He said as he then got out of his hiding spot and approached the man. "You!"

Mal then looked to see a large cat and got freaked. "AH! LARGE CAT!" He said as he got out his sword and pointed it at him with nervousness.

Pete then raised his hands. "Oh, easy, easy there buddy." He said with a grin. "I'm not here to attack you, I am here to help you."

Mal still had the sword pointing at Pete, still shaking. "H-help? With what?" He asked with nervousness.

Pete smirked. "Well, I just heard you rambling about someone by the name of Aladdin, is that right?" He asked.

And when Pete said the name, that was when Mal lost his nerve and it was replaced with a frown. "Yea….Aladdin, Mr. Goody himself." He said with a frown as he slumped on the wall behind him. "Every time I get my hand on some treasure or something like that, he is always there to foil me," He said with a frown.

Pete looked at the man and smirked. "Perfect." He said, making Mal give a confused look. "How about we strike a deal?"


Town/Peddlers Shop

Sora, Aladdin, and the rest of the gang were in the Peddlers shop, and to say that the place was a wreck was….well…a bit of an understatement. The entire place looked like something out of a fight, with walls cracked and a mess all over the place.

"Why would anybody want to shop here?" Ortensia asked as she looked a bit disgusted.

"Eh, you get used to it." Aladdin said to her as the Peddler finally appeared to them all.

"Ahh! Travelers! Welcome to-'' but when he saw Aladdin and Abu, his eyes went wide. "YOU!" He exclaimed. "You those thieves who tried to take my lamp away! GO away!"

"No wait!" Aladdin said, trying to get him to calm down. "Look, I don't know why Abu took the lamp, and I deeply apologize for it. But you see, we need that lamp back, please!

"He's right, that lamp holds an evil genie, and we need it so he won't be able to escape!" Sora said.

"Just name the price, and we'll pay it!" Ruby said to him, with a hopeful look in her eyes.

The Peddler looked at them all and rubbed his short goatee with interest. "Ok then, I want….treasure." And that made the whole group immediately look at him like he was a bit crazy. "And not just treasure, but lots of it! Lots and lots and lots of it! Enough to fill an entire Palace!" He exclaimed as he had his arms out as wide as possible.

Now this made everybody's jaws drop to the entire floor, was he mad? Where the heck would they be able to get their hands on a bunch of treasure? This was just…just.

"Ok then," Sora simply said, making everybody look at him as if he was crazy."

"Okay?" The group said in unison with raised eyebrows.

Sora nodded. "Don't worry, we will get you some treasure, c'mon guys." He said as he left the Peddlers shop, the others were slightly confused, but decided to gulp nervously and follow him outside.

When they all got outside, the group wanted explanations from Sora. "Are you nuts?" Jaune exclaimed to him. "Where are we going to get treasure from?" He asked.

"Yea?" The others asked.

Sora then rolled his eyes. "Didn't you guys forget about the treasure we got from Atlantis? We can use that to pay for the lamp." He said to them, Then that was when the group realized what he was saying…could it work?

"Wait, Atlantis?" Aladdin asked them with a raised eyebrow, something that Abu and Iago did as well.

"Long story," Donald said to him. "But he said he wanted enough to fill an entire Palace! The stuff we got now is barely holding up the ship as we know it!" But that made Ruby and Ortensia look at him with suspicion, all that gold they had was doing sit fine and the ship moved fine as well.

"Donald," Ortenisa with her arms crossed. "Are you certain? Because the ship moved fine." She said with a look in her eyes."

"Well…uh…" Donald said, his eyes moving left and right, it was pretty obvious that he was lying, likely not wanting to part with the treasure. And that was evident as everybody (sans Aladdin rolled their eyes and sighed a bit.

"But then again," Ruby said. "He wants treasure that would fill an entire palace, the ones we got will only be enough to cover a living room."

"Wait, Aladdin," Sun said to him. "What if we asked the Sultan, do you think he would agree?" He asked.

Aladdin then thought it over, would the sultan go for it? But he sighed and shook his head. "I mean, I don't want to put him through it, and besides, Razoul would try to kill me if I attempted to ask the sultan for some treasure." This now makes them all a bit peeved, what were they going to do?

"MONSTERS!'' They all heard some shouting going on nearby, and they knew that Heartless were in the area, and with that, they immediately ran off to go see what was going down.

Meanwhile, Pete saw them running off and snickers. "He he he, now to get me a lamp! Mal better not mess this up!" He said as he went onwards the shop

Heartless were running amok in the city as the townsfolk were running away, and to top it all off, Abis Mal was at the helm, laughing at them all.

"That's right!" He shouted to them. "Give me everything! Money, gold, ALL OF IT!" He shouted as people were dropping valuables as they were running, with the Luna Heartless using their swords to pick up the gold. "Aww yeah! Money, money, money!"

After a few minutes, he noticed some figures coming up his way, and he got a good look at them and sneered. "Well, look who it is!" He exclaimed as the heroes now got up and got out their weapons, ready to fight. "Aladdin!"

When Aladdin saw him he snorted. "Abis Mal." He said with a glare.

"You know that guy?" Ruby asked him.

"Yea, I had a few run-ins with him before after Jafar got sealed up. He's been trying to take gold and take over Agrabah before, but I always manage to take him down."

"HA!" Mal said with a grin. "Not this time Ala-Stupid, I got me some new bandits to help me take whatever I wish!" He said with a smug tone of voice.

"Sorry pal," Donald said. "But no way, we're going to let that happen!"

Abis then looked at them and rubbed his chin with interest. "Ah, so you must be that Sora kid, along with his other friends."

Sora and the others raised eyebrows. "Huh?" Sora said. "How do you know my name?

"Well, a certain someone told me about you, the same guy who gave me this awesome power and this posse of mine. A big guy who mentioned something about having a grudge against you!"

When he said that, the travelers then sighed a bit. "You mean Pete?" Goofy asked with a confused look.

"Yesiree!" Mal said. "And him and I cut a deal! He helps me get rid of Aladdin, and I help him get rid of you, and he will also help me rule all of Agrabah!" He said with a wicked grin. "All of you are staring at Agrabah's newest Sultan!"

Aladdin glared hard at him as he got his sword out. "You aren't Sultan, and you never will be!"

Mal however darkly chuckled. "You're wrong about that boy….dead wrong." He said as his body gave off a dark misty aura and pointed his sword at the group. "ATTACK!" he shouted, the Heartless then charged right to the group and they all got ready to fight.

Sora dodged a swipe attack from A Luna and used his keyblade to block the attack, then he dodged downwards and gave a kick right to a Luna Bandits' stomach, knocking it back, then they pointed his keyblade in the air. "Thunder!" He shouted, cousin them all to get electrocuted.

Donald and Ortneisa stood together and pointed their weapons at a group of Heartless. "Double FIRAGA!" they shouted as two large columns of fire were sent to the Heartless, and burned them all to a crisp.

Goofy bashed a bandit's head in, and he then ran right toward a barrage. "GOOFY CHARGE!" He shouted as he was engulfed in light and ran right to the barrage, knocking them all back and down, and if one could listen, the sound of bowling pins falling could be heard…somewhere.

Aladdin used his own sword to slash a Bandits head right clean off, and with his precise speed and agility, he jumped and used a bandit's head as a jump board, making the Heartless approaching him accidentally run into the other one, making them all collide and crash into each other.

Abu was….well…he didn't do anything, he just stood nearby and looked down with anticipation and jabbed forward, hoping the others would beat the baddies up.

Iago was doing the best he could, all he could do was simply peck the Heartless in the face with his beak. "Yea, take some of this!" He exclaimed as he pecked an eye or two. "Eat some beak!" He taunted them.

Ruby used her Semblance to go fast around the Heartless, she even utilized her scythe for when she zipped right past them, they were immediately slashed in one go as the petals flowed by them, making them all get sliced in half and their bodies evaporate.

Jaune used his shield to block three sword attacks from the bandits, and he swung around, knocking them all back into some barrels of fruit, which went splat as they made contact. He then saw a Bandit jumper right at him and he then simply grabbed him and threw him into another group of bandits, taking them all down.

When he did that, his eyes winded, and looked at his hand. "Woah, I didn't even think of doing that! My reflexes have improved." He thought with a smile on his hand.

Sun smirked and used his semblance to make a clone, which the Heartless fell for and immediately ran right towards it, and then the actual Sun smirked as they advanced and got behind them as he got his staff and rated it like a golfer. "FORE!" He called as he gave a mighty swing and the Heartless went off flying in the air, out of sight and out of mind ;)

Oswald pointed hsi keyblade at a group of Shadows coming up to him and it began to give an icy mist aura. "BLIZZAGA!" He said as a torrent of ice shot out and froze the Heartless on impact.

Stitch growled as he fired off his blasters at the Bandits, one by one they all got blasted away to smithereens, one b admit even attempted to swipe at him, but the alien caught the sword by his teeth, and with great force, he broke it in half with his teeth, and he then headbutted the Bandit right it the head, causing it to go siding backward and disappear into the mist.

Max and a Bandit locked swords and both each tried to put force into them, sparks flying as Max glared hard at it. After a few minutes, Max used his shield to slam behind the head, causing the Bandit to fall sideways, that was when Max grabbed his sword and plunged it right into the Heartless's head, killing it instantly.

Mal was beyond shocked, why was his new army dropping like flies? It was bad enough for that miserable Aladdin to beat him many times, but now he had some help, and these guys were good! This did not look good.

After a few minutes, the Heartless were all defeated. The heroes then approached Abis, who looked a bit nervous and scared. "Alright Mal," Aladdin said as he grabbed hold of the bandit, who cowered in fear. "You better start talking!"

Mal looked nervous, from what he has seen, he knew that it would be a very big mistake if he were going to try to take them on, especially since that one girl has a very sharp scythe. "A-alright, I'll talk, I'll talk! The big cat guy….he told me that I was going to be a distraction!"

"Distraction for what?" Oswald asked him.

"He was going to sneak into the Peddlers Shop for something, he didn't tell me! All he said was that he was going to help me get revenge on Aladdin!" He said, now in a more cowardly voice. "I told you everything now, just please don't hurt me!"

Aladdin then glared at him again. "Where is this Pete guy now?" He asked.

Mal gulped. "Uh…he might be at the palace…" He squeaked.

POW

That was when he was met with a punch right in the kisser by Aladdin, making the villain go fall back and pass out from the pain, making the others wince a bit.

"Well then…" Sora said, not really knowing how to respond to the beating.

"C'mon!" Aladdin said to them. "We need to head back to the Palace!" He said to them as the others agreed and proceeded to follow Aladdin.


So we're going to stop there everybody. I know it was kinda short, but as I said, I want to save the Cave of Wonders for the next visit.

Anyways sorry for the long wait, as I said, I'm still grieving for my grandmother, and I was sent back to my old job where I work from 5:30 am to 4pm…so updates might be a bit slower…sorry.

Anyways, please don't forget to read and review, I'm always happy to hear from you guys and happy to answer any questions you might have for me.

See you all next time :)
